The last time Shen Mu had come here, his understanding of the Dao of the blade had been too shallow for him to dare examine the God-Slaying Platform of the Ancestral Court. Now, however, his comprehension of the blade had reached a far deeper level, and as he looked upon the platform again, he discovered many things that had eluded him before. There were two blades, like twin dragons swimming through the murderous aura.
These two divine sabers possessed a peerless ferocity, having absorbed the baleful energy gathered over countless ages, until they had become sentient. Not only that, but the two blades naturally contained the great Dao of the God-Slaying Platform.
Logically, they should have given birth to beings similar to ancient gods, but for some reason, they had instead become two divine sabers. The saber aura they had sensed emanated from these two divine blades!
However, the two blades were still in the process of formation; they had form but not yet substance.
If they were to be classified by the five stages of cosmic formation, among the Five Primalities of the Primordial, these two blades belonged to the Taishi stage. Zai Fu's understanding of the Dao of the blade surpassed that of all the others, so he was the first to sense the two blades within the platform; the others could not detect them.
Shen Mu's Sage Eyes were peerless, so he could also see them. The five of them walked toward the platform.
Tian Shu, the Heavenly King, shivered as he gulped wine.
He was timid; only drinking could suppress his cowardice. The other Heavenly Kings of Kaihuang often mocked Tian Shu, saying that before drinking, Tian Shu would knead Kaihuang's shoulders and pound his back; after drinking, he would squint and order Kaihuang to knead his shoulders and pound his back.
At first, Tian Shu was the last among the five, but as he drank, he moved to the front, tore open his garments, bared his chest, and laughed, "That wench Qiang Tianfei is a pretty thing, pity I've never gotten close. .
. Eh, that wench is guarding an empty room; let her come out and give this old man some fun! " Qiang Tianfei's disciple, a being at the Imperial Throne realm named Fang Ziyan, frowned deeply and suppressed her anger, thinking, 'This shifty-eyed fellow seems to be the rebel Tian Shu, the one who dared to contend with the Nether Emperor. Mu Tianzun appears refined and elegant — how could he be mixed up with such a rebel?
' Her cultivation was extremely high, and she was leading the way, but the saber aura of the God-Slaying Platform posed a great threat to her. The closer she got, the harder it was to bear. The saber aura not only invaded her body but also her Dao-heart, causing great disturbance. Worse, countless saber energies invaded her primordial spirit, making it feel as if ten thousand blades were pressing upon it, bringing stabs of pain from time to time.
Moreover, the baleful aura in the blade made her restless; her temples throbbed, blood surged upward, and she wished she could chop the drunkard beside her to death with a flurry of blades! But hatefully, the drunkard Tian Shu kept pressing close to her, asking when Qiang Tianfei would come out to amuse Master Tian.
"If it weren't for Mu Tianzun's sake, your servant would slice you up fine, mince you into filling, and boil you into a broth! " Fang Ziyan said with a smile, her pearly teeth grinding audibly.
Her Dao-heart was no match for Shen Mu, Zai Fu, and the others; even Tian Shu was infinitely stronger than her.
When sober, Tian Shu was as timid as a mouse, but once drunk, his Dao-heart became unimpeded, his demonic nature was roused, and he feared nothing, his Dao-heart reaching the twenty-fifth heaven. When they arrived within ten li of the God-Slaying Platform, Fang Ziyan could no longer endure.
She hastily took out the protective talisman Qiang Tianfei had given her and hung it around her neck.
